Akagi's Fleet, Pacific Ocean

We return to Akagi's fleet while making our way to the homeland of the Sakura Empire while I give my report to Akagi about the arrival of the Royal Navy main fleet and Enterprise is out of commission for the time being, but I doubt she will take no for an answer and continue her reckless attack.

Akagi: "So the main fleet of the Royal Navy have arrive?"

Regele: "Yes madam; so we have no choice but to retreat."

Akagi: "That's okay; as long everyone got out alive then that's fine."

After we finish discussion about the operation; we notice a island with a giant Sakura tree in the middle of the island which I found amazing that we never had in Romania. 

Akagi: "Welcome to the heartland of the Sakura Empire; I must discuss with Lady Nagato about our war effort while we have someone to give you a tour around the base

Akagi: "Welcome to the heartland of the Sakura Empire; I must discuss with Lady Nagato about our war effort while we have someone to give you a tour around the base."

I bow to Akagi as a thank you gesture and we have enter the dock with a couple of kanesns who welcome us except they notice me with guard stance, but was halted by Akagi.

Akagi: "He's with us and I want someone to give him a tour."

Akagi and Kaga head to this Lady Nagato person while Ayanami arrive to talk with her friends which she notice me and ask if I want a tour together which I agree since I don't know where to go so we both head out while some of her friends ask question which one of the is Yuudachi.

Yuudachi: "My name is Yuudachi, but you better not treat me like a dog. Woof! I mean what?"

Another one was Yukikaze who has a high and mighty opinion about herself.

Yukikaze: "My name is Yukikaze and you should feel honor of walking with us for the tour

Shigure(happy): "My name is Shigure and I'm the lucky ship in the Sakura Empire."

Ayanami: "Ignore them Relege; they got a weird expression of themselves."

Yuudachi: "Don't say that and beside; you're already have a nickname of yourself... Demon especially this metal piece on your head."

Ayanami(worry): "Those aren't metal piece; those are my ears."

They continue to talk crazy until I notice a stair that leads to some kind of school which I question them.

Relege: "What's up there?"

Ayanami: "That place is where people with sword train."

So a training zone which is great for me and I need to practice my skills before upcoming battle against Enterprise again. I decide to head upstairs while Ayanami and her friends are heading deeper into the island. I climb up the stairs and see the school building until I notice a girl standing still in the middle of the training ground so I decide to wait and see what she is doing. I can tell that she is focus and I notice a leaf that is coming down which cause this girl to strike the leaf with good accurate.

After seeing that amazing thing; I decide to clap at her performance which surprise her.

Relege: "Sorry about that miss; your performance was excellent."

???: "Thank you, but who are you? You're not a Sakura Empire kansen and your male?"

Relege: "My name is NMS Relege Ferdinand a Romanian destroyer, but you can call me Relege."

???: "Takao and thank you for the compliment."

Relege: "How about a duel? I want to see your blade in action."

I approach to the other side of the circle and she agree to it.

Takao: "Sure."

We both clash our blades with her have a excellent stance, but the question is can she survive my clash. I clash my sword to her katana and cause her about to lose her stance, but was able to withstand it. I smile and continue with the clash until we both notice Zuikaku watching us from the distance. She didn't want to get in the way of excellent performance which we decide to take a break after a long duel with no victor, but it was a good exercise. Zuikaku want to talk to me about her fight against Enterprise.

Zuikaku: "I want to become stronger against Enterprise."

Relege: "You will be Zuikaku. It doesn't take a day to build Rome."

She doesn't understand what she mean, but Takao understand it very well since we're both warriors and pat Zuikaku on the back which was too hard on her back which Takao apologize before lifting her up. I can hear someone stomach growling which it was Zuikaku who is embarrasses and we decide to have something to eat while me and Takao discuss about military tactics. We head to one of the restaurant that is cooking a meat on a BBQ type grill in the inside which  Takao explain to me that it one of the tradition in the Sakura Empire. I didn't hear her because of the meat was grilling and we enter one of the station and enjoy our meat. My first day in Sakura Empire coming off without a hitch and enjoyable to say the least.
